Centerstone has received an $840,000 federal grant to expand a program designed for people with addiction diseases who live in rural areas of Middle Tennessee and southern Kentucky.

The new services will be modeled after a program that Centerstone Indiana launched last year called an electronic Recovery-Oriented System of Care. It links people suffering from substance abuse with faith-based and community-based organizations where they live and also offers online services that include web portals and live chat features.
